We're in Bangkok!

The three of us have made it to Thailand, we're planning on catching the bus to Cambodia tomorrow.

The plane ride was an eventful nine hours. Possibly Jack's worst plane flight ever. In his own words: "Firstly, I was told my screen would not work for the whole flight. It got a lot worse though as half way through the flight Jack was suddenly awoken with a burning sensation on his skin and the feeling of a hot sweat building. I leant forward in a daze not aware of his surroundings. I vaguely remember a hostess asking me if I needed water. After trying to stand up and walk to the toilet I  then collapsed on to the air hostess who was bringing my water and then fell backwards and landed on my head in the aisle. It was then that I blacked out. I then awoke to a crowd around me and they put a call out do see if a doctor was on the plane. It turns out there was a doctor and after the fuzziness had died down I got lifted to my chair and she checked my blood pressure and pulse. The next hour or so after that was horrible. If i closed my eyes the world started spinning. Eventually 3 people had to be moved so I could lie down and get the blood back to my head.It turns out the doctor suspected that it was a reaction to either my Japenese eniphilitis jag or my rabies jag which I got the day before "
All the while Alison and I were sitting just a few rows in front blissfully unaware of all this until the morning. We were too busy drinking Coniac. Oops.

It was interesting flying in to Mumbai. The countless miles of slums were staggering. They reach right up to the edge of the runway. It is monsoon season in India at the moment and it's a miserable scene, seeing people wandering around with no shoes on over piles of rubbish. They were standing in their huts watching the planes take off and being blasted by the backdraft from the engines which sends horizontal rain into their huts. When flying over the city, the whole Western section is dominated by slums. They stand out due to the bright blue tarpaulins used for roofs.

We are currently in a very nice hotel in Bangkok near the airport. (1800 Bat for a triple room=£12 each) The hotel is a pool and so Jack and I took a dip. It's very hot and humid here and so it was very welcome.  We are currently in our room waiting  for our room service dinner and watching the England match (well Jack is watching it, Alison and I are just lying in the bed).
